What to Do Next
If you selected the internal NAM interface to handle management traffic in Step 1, then proceed to the
“Configuring a Static Route to the NAM Through the Analysis-Module Interface” section on page 25.
If you plan to monitor traffic through the internal NAM interface, then proceed to the “Enabling NAM
Packet Monitoring” section on page 27.
If you do not plan to monitor traffic through the internal NAM interface, then proceed to the “Enabling
and Accessing the NAM Traffic Analyzer” section on page 29.
Configuring a Static Route to the NAM Through the Analysis-Module Interface
This section describes how to ensure that the router can route packets to the NAM by configuring a static
route through the Analysis-Module interface.
If you select the internal NAM interface to handle management traffic, then configuring a static route to
the NAM through the Analysis-Module interface is:
• Required when the Analysis-Module interface is IP unnumbered.
• Recommended when the Analysis-Module interface is assigned a unique IP address.
If you select the external NAM interface to handle management traffic, then you do not need to perform
this task. Proceed to the “What to Do Next” section on page 27.
